Northwest Women in Boating eagerly celebrates the accomplishments of women in love with boating. There is so much to learn on and off the water about boating and the maritime community. We are excited to have Deborah Bach as our presenter next Monday.

Deborah and her husband, Marty McOmber, launched the successful online maritime-focused news site, Three Sheets Northwest (www.thresheetsnw.com). Deborah will introduce you, more intimately, to Three Sheets Northwest. Online publications are more than just sources of information; they are interactive. She will share how it has enhanced her passion for and knowledge of boating and how it can enhance yours.

We are especially pleased that Deborah will offer us some valuable knowledge about blogging. If you have a blog site learn how to enhance it. If you don’t blog but would like to, get tips on how to start and learn how you can enjoy it while enhancing your boating experience.

(Vivian here. I am especially excited about Deborah’s presentation as my husband and I recently returned from five weeks traveling in nine European countries. Before we left we had hoped to put a blog together but ran out of time. Now we are home and have 2000 pictures to go through and still need to do a blog so we can share the most wonderful trip of our lifetime. This is going to be a very meaningful meeting and I hope that many of you will take this opportunity to join us.)

Deborah was introduced to boating by her husband who was living aboard when they met. They honeymooned in Croatia sailing on the Dalmatian coast “among islands with pine forests and sandy beaches, cobblestone villages and castle ruins.” Currently they are “…having a good time discovering the Pacific Northwest’s anchorages and marinas, its waterlogged characters and watering holes”. Their long-term plan is to spend a few years sailing around the world. As NWWB presentations are relaxed, if you have questions about boating in that region, we’re sure Deborah would gladly share.

And, at the time of sending this out, we have learned that while continuing to publish Three Sheets Northwest, Deborah is taking over as the new Communications Director for the Northwest Marine Trade Association.

Come relax and enjoy the evening.
